thanks guys...the car is still pretty much stock. Only thing i've done is 6500k light and fogs. I probably won't do much more than tint and wheels. And when it comes to wheels, I'm having a difficult time finding some I actually like on the car. Most are too much wheel or not enough for me. I actually wish the stocks were 20's

Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing!

It's been a couple of years since I've been up to Monterey/Carmel, such a wonderful area and lovely drive. Your LS 430 gleams beautifully against the picturesque backdrop.

Yes sir! There is a big difference. I do some driving through a canyon and get flashed a lot going through there. Probably due to the lack of lights through it so peoples eyes adjust to the dark and the glare seems worse. On city streets I don't think i've gotten flashed yet. I also have not adjusted them down at all either.

I think I would see even more of an improvment if I had stuck with the 4300k color bulbs. 6500k reduces the light output slightly.
